Mike为什么要故意输给Wyatt?
因为Wyatt看到投资人就紧张,让他获胜可以缓解他的情绪。
HARVEY: I know, the last time these venture capitalists came in, I took him boxing to calm him down. I basically had to punch myself in the face to let him win.
那Wyatt为什么会看到投资人会紧张?
因为Wyatt在这个卫星电话上倾注了所有。
HARVEY: Well, you spend two years working on a satellite phone that fits in your pocket and then bet the company on it. You’d be a little nervous, too, I bet.
Harvey最后让Mike去干啥?
赶紧回办公室去为Wyatt的卫星电话申请专利。

看SUITS学法律英语
Suits是一部比较专业律政剧,虽然剧中经常出现夸张的情节,但是从法律语言学习的角度,绝对是值得反复学习的素材,前提是能够看懂剧中包含的大量律师专用表述、并购交易词汇、诉讼庭审词汇等。
Uh… What is that, three in a row?
That would be four, actually.
Oh, God.
Come on. What do you say? We go five out of nine?
So you can keep abusing me? No, thank you. I’m done.
Oh, come on. I’ll spot you three.
Game time’s over, Wyatt. They’re here.
They’re here?
Get set up in the conference room.
Yeah. No, I’ll just, uh…
Get set up in the conference room.
You did let him win, right?
It wasn’t easy. The guy has the coordination of a two-year-old.
I know. The last time these venture capitalists came in, I took him boxing to calm him down. I basically had to punch myself in the face to let him win.
I don’t get it. I mean, if he’s such a genius, why does he get so nervous around a bunch of investors?
Well, you spend two years working on a satellite phone that fits in your pocket and then bet the company on it. You’d be a little nervous, too, I bet.
The prototype. I can’t find it. I don’t know where I…
You mean this? I don’t know what I’d do without you.
Fail miserably.
I would.
Is that the, uh… $20 million prototype, yes. And you don’t even get to look at this bad boy until after we close the deal today.
Wow. They’re like storm troopers.
Storm troopers don’t write checks. All you’ve got to do is walk in there, show them how the phone works.
Right.
And Suntech Digital will be a new force in global communications.
Let’s knock them dead.
All right.
Whoa, whoa. Where do you think you’re going?
Into the room. With the people.
Wrong, that’s the adult table in there. And you haven’t earned the privilege yet.
But I… I played air hockey with him.
You need to go back to the office and file the patent for the phone.
A patent? I don’t know how to file a patent.
Figure it out.
Can’t we do that after…
No. And you keep talking, I’m going to start billing you. And my time runs $1,000 an hour.
“But isn’t this our time, Mr. Hand?”
I stand corrected.
Your Fast Times at Ridgemont High quote, that proves you belong at the adult table. Right. That’s a great movie, and it spoke to a generation.
